Dick Allen Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 QUOTE (oldsox @ Aug 8, 2017 -> 09:59 PM) Everyone's favorite umpire got his butt suspended for calling out Beltre publicly. I don't think he did anything to warrant the suspension. Of course I didn't think Beltre should have been ejected for moving the on deck thing. People need to relax and laugh about some things. I don't know why everything is taken so seriously and offensively. There are plenty of things to take that way, but the littlest things now are made such a big deal of.

Because that is what Joe West does. He ejects people and puts on a show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An umpire can't criticize a player publicly. They're supposed to be unbiased judges. If he can't keep up that appearance then he should retire.

Apparently he is doing something correctly. Only 2 men have umpired more MLB games than Cowboy Joe. I don't agree with him much, but at least he's not a robot.

Rowand44 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Joe West is an absolute clown and should have been fired along time ago. He shouldn't have been suspended for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe he should be suspended for tossing Beltre. I believe he should be suspended for publicly commenting negatively on a single player. That step is the one that challenges the umpire's objectivity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
